Ger77 742 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 We are now 6 months into the BDO investigation and over a year down the road since Strathclyde Police began their criminal investigation of Craig Whyte's takeover of our club.When will we ever get the answers and the justice we deserve?

UKIP BEAR 370 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 What has he done which is illegal?surely it is illegal to take money out of your employees wages under the pretence that you are paying their tax/ni. Then sticking it in your pocket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 surely it is illegal to take money out of your employees wages under the pretence that you are paying their tax/ni. Then sticking it in your pocket.Strangely it is not illegal to not pay tax / it's a civil matter and all that can happen is fines and disqualification as a director - but Mr Shyte made fraudulent actions (alledgedly lol) and that is illegal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraud is using someone else's name, as far as I know, he used his own name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue No11 235 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 It will never come out,these wealthy individuals always cover every move,its how they become wealthy in the first place. There is no such thing as an honest business man,the really wealthy ones are super smart. Its just heart wrenching that it happened to our club. Who started the slide ? David Murray who's hand was forced by loydds bank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue No11 235 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 He also stole Money in the form of Arsenal shares allegedly. In our eyes he did steal them,in the courts eyes they were his to sell as he owned the club. Heartless Prick of a guy ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Educator 1,572 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I don't think he's committed fraud either. Fraud is using someone else's name, as far as I know, he used his own name.Fraud can cover a number of things. In this case it's whether or not he fraudulently took over the club. If what we have been told is true he signed a document that as part of his purchase of the club for £1 he would pay off the £18m bank debt to Lloyds from his own financial reserves. We now know he did not do this, but used money supplied by Ticketus. Money that according to them was also fraudulently obtained by his withholding of information on his legal status of being banned from holding the office of company director. What you are describing is identity fraud, a different form of fraudulent crime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk seem to think Whyte will go to jail, at worst he will get cited to a civil court (which you don't have to legally attend in Scotland) and be ordered to pay back money, which legally, nothing will happen to him if he doesn't pay it.

It's not like somebody getting a loan and not paying it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertz 78 918 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Still can't understand why hmrc gave Hearts a winding up order for non payment of paye after 4 weeks of non payment but they let shyte away with it for 9 months?Should be a public inquiry into what went on lot of people/organisations seem to want to cover this whole thing up.
